Anglekisses - you are right on the mark!
My parents don't attend Mass. My dad only attending for our Communions, Confirmations, my sister's wedding and my sister's childrens' baptisms and graduations - again Catholic school. Mom took us to Mass when we were small. As teenagers, we walked to Church on our own, my sister and I.
Yet, my mom has been on my case for 4 years about getting my son baptized. That seems more important to her than him having a knowledge and relationship with Jesus.
We have been attending weekly since Decemeber. In fact, we are the only ones in the family to attend Church regularly and it's like it doesn't mean as much because it isn't the Church of my upbringing.
Personally, my view on being Christian is that it's all the same, the rules are different at each denomination. We all worship One God, One Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I think I'm better off attending a Church where I agree with the rules, than saying I belong to a denomination, but disagree with the rules or ignore the rules.
